Method
Step 1 of 4
Put the mince in a mixing bowl with the pesto and basil and mash together with a fork to blend the pesto and herbs into the mince. Shape the mince into 24-30 small balls.
Step 2 of 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan and cook the chicken balls over a high heat, shaking the pan occasionally to turn the meatballs, for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3 of 4
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan and cook the onion over a moderately high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring until softened. Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
Step 4 of 4
Stir the meatballs into the tomato sauce and serve with fresh pasta shapes, if liked.
